its songs like this that reminds us it alright to cry because of pain but also because of pure beauty and when you think of the song lyrics you feel both as you listen
Sigur Rós always make me sad, but a kind of sadness that makes me ethereal, as if my soul was floating in the sky, gazing at everything.. and slowly, understanding it all.
i used to skip high school classes drive up and down the coast on an overcast day feeling like i was trapped inside a hole with my fate sealed and just blast this on repeat. that was 3 years ago. i come back to this song and it makes clear how far ive come with personal demons and stuff. i'm not in that hole anymore. but this music helped me keep a bitter but sweet sense of dignity. i guess the moral is just hang on and things get better over time. must be a law of the universe or something. <3
The cymbal used in this song was found on a street in downtown Reykjavík. The instrument was bent and had apparently been driven over. However, they liked the way it sounded and wrote the song from there.
@sdm9 I know this is a late response to your question but the poster, Basketballereke is a a guy who lives in a town in Iceland and this is a park near there.
This song is amazing, I do not have words. This song remembers me when I breathed for the first time pure air. I like too many sigur ros. thank you basketballerke for your excellent videoes. Regards from Colombia.
Apart from being incredible music...I think it makes sense that I like it, b/c the view outside my window and the pictures of trees in my head always look just like the sigur ros videos on the web. I love it.
Przeciwstawieni W nieświadomości Dopóki nie zniszczymy wszystkiego I nie zapanujemy nad tym... Jeszcze raz... jeszcze raz... I jeszcze raz... Ponownie w głębi ducha Gdzie znęcamy się nad sobą... Ponownie kolce drutu w moich ustach Rozpruwające stare, zaleczone rany... .
Dark lyrics. Wow. Checked several spots on the web and they were roughly the same each time. I love this band, and always thought there was a profound sadness behind the beautiful haze... This is much darker than I had imagined, though.

the part from 4:43 is just epic and has such a strong atmosphere..THis song is incredible, It's not that complex or extremely hard to play, but it's just great..Music doesn't have to be complicated to be good..Sigur Ros are great!
I love this kind of music and always look for new bands..Some days ago I found a band called "Nyctalgia"... You really should listen to their song "Falling into nothingness"
Incredible song that deserves more attention..trust me..it's totally worth..!
christ! like 3 seconds into this song I get rank chills! Too few bands can actually do that these days, but Sigur Ros is one of them, thanks for the upload!
Még nem néztem meg cakumpakk csak belenéztem..de jelenleg az utolsó koncert a katarzis számomra :) (: A zene+az a gyönyörű táj..univerzális egységben olvad össze..** Egyszerűen elvarázsol^_^ Remélem,hogy hamarosan,már többet értek a dalok szövegéből..Hm,már tervezem,hogy elmegyek Izlandra,és nem maradhatna ki természetesen egy Sigur Rós koncert sem..~Á,szép kis álom,nem?
nowe baterie drut kolczasty wpleciony w moje krwawiące usta zamykając mnie w klatce... nagie zwierzęta kąsają mnie i zbawiciel puka do drzwi... nieustraszony wkłada nowe baterie i ładuje je jeszcze raz... jeszcze raz... i jeszcze raz... jeszcze raz... i jeszcze raz... przeciwstawieni w nieświadomości dopóki nie zniszczymy wszystkiego i nie zapanujemy nad tym... jeszcze raz... jeszcze raz... i jeszcze raz...
ponownie w głębi ducha gdzie znęcamy się nad sobą... ponownie kolce drutu w moich ustach rozpruwające stare, zaleczone rany... rdza zżera moją duszę... elektryczność zanikła... chcę się odciąć... ćwiartować siebie uśmiercić... jednak brak mi odwagi... najlepiej będzie gdy się wyłączę... znów jestem sam
Zdarza się ;) Skoro słuchasz Sigur Rós od kilkunastu miesięcy, to pewnie masz wyrzuty sumienia, czemu nie słyszałaś wcześniej "Ný Batterí", a pochodzi z 1999 roku z - moim zdaniem - najlpeszego albumu chłopaków - Ágætis Byrjun.
Aftur á bak Þar sem við ríðum Aftur með gaddavír Í kjaftinum sem rífur upp gamalt gróið sár er orðinn ryðguð sál rafmagnið búið mig langar að skera og rista sjálfan mig á hol en Þori Það ekki frekar slekk ég á mér aleinn á ný and substitute ð for ö and þ for p in tathary12´s post. both letters sound like "th"
I'm sorry, but I don't think I really understand your question. If you're asking if I "know" Icelandic, I do a little, not exactly fluent, but my Grandmother is from Iceland so I know a bit. If you're asking if I'm still "learning" then yes.
personally i find this particular song, one of the best song's that sigur ros could share with us... it makes my day so complete and so simple that i can please myself with just opening my eyes...
whats wrong with LeSouverain's comment - he/she obviously found the music and imagery transient and relaxing, like a lullaby for the modern age. isn't that the kind of emotion sigur ros were after creating
I wonder, what does Ny Batteri mean ? In norwegian it means new battery.. :D
